Now I'm Sad (Boo Hoo)

My concept of happiness is completely based on fiction

Accustomed to disappointment from the human condition

I've been fed exaggerated emotions

and I've taken them as wisdom

Romance has torn me a new one

And now

And now I'm sad

And now I'm sad

Try and fish for some compliments

Try and find some self-worth

Try and fall in love with another person

Try to be loved by the earth

But when you're met with constant let-downs

It feels like things can only get worse

Expectation tore me a new one

And now

And now I'm sad

And now I'm sad

Hindsight fucked me up

The past facilitates resentment

And I get told not to dwell on it

And to live for the present

Livin' in first-person is hard when you're not on a track

And if the present is a gift

Then I want to send it back

And now I'm sad

And now I'm sad

And now I'm sad

And now I'm sa-aa-ad

Roger Ebert said

"If you have to ask what it symbolizes, then it didn't"

I have to work my way around this by being blatant

Got tons of wasted metaphors across my writing pad

The only thing I feel honest in expressing is the fact that I am sad
